Time to ship home

<< < (2/2)

RVOA:

Hi Alan

We shipped ours back with most of our stuff still in it - though the shipping line will tell you No (I think thats to cover them if your stuff gets stolen).

Anything of "value" (personal not cost) was hidden in places within the RV (under bed, behind washer/dryer, compartment behind galley pull-out, under settee, etc) and all was OK at the other end.

We did have small items stolen - but these were things someone could just grab quickly (CDs, Binoculars). Compared to the cost of shipping all our personal stuff seperately, it was worth it.

We took laptops etc in our personal luggage.

Be sure you have insurance for the trip across the Atlantic, and don't use this company (scroll down to see photos).

Hi Allan
Sorry i have not replied sooner, No one told us NOT  to put gear in the lockers so as i knew people had done this we did it as well,
It is a risk every body seems to take.
You will have to empty the propane tanks and produce a letter or certificate stating it has been done.
We used Kash Gas in Brunswick  address is 6043 New Jersey Hwy Brunswick 31523. Telephone 912-264=3027 Cost was $80 in April 2009
they will want your RV for at least 6 hours as they purge the tank and lines. If you arrive when they open you can avoid leaving it over night
That is what i did .
Other than that the agent sorts every thing out for you .
There is one other charge you will have to pay , When you get to the dock entrance you have to register with the security police they then give the transport people a call to escort you and the RV to their offices  Cost is $50 to the transport firm . It is all to do with 9/11 security it is $50 per person so leave the wife at the dock gate , you will only be gone half an hour.
Any thing else you want to know just ask or e- mail me at fredkennett1@hotmail.co.uk
Regards FRED
